M14

The M14 is one of 2 weapons available at the start of most maps, or at least the one you'll see first. it is better than the olympia because it has 4 times the ammo capacity and its longer range and its easyer to get headshots with. It has 8 rounds per mag and 96 to spare, so ammo isn't too shabby this 500 point gun. Because the M14 is semi-automatic, it's wise to use this around rounds 4-7 aiming for headshots to rake in easy points when the knife and M1911 are foolish to consider. If you're not a fantastic shot ( In which case join the club ) then hoard as many zombies as you can and aim for their heads, you're bound to hit at least one. The gun certainly endears itself more to money makers than the other early buy wall weapon, the Olympia, as headshots are so much easy to get with the M14. Swap this gun out once you have some funds, as this gun becomes very weak past round 7.

When upgraded, you get the Mnesia, this comes with 16 round mags and twice the spare ammo the base version held. It has stronger shots to boot. While that's pretty good, it pales in comparison to most other upgraded weapons of any type. In the late teen rounds onwards, aiming at the head is mandatory if you want to get some killing sprees going, otherwise, it's a decent ammo money maker, but why spend 5000 points on that? The Mnesia is a waste unless you have some good aim. The gun overall is a fine early on source of money-grabbing headshots to the skilled shooter, as is the upgraded version, if you are using this gun as a kill source, you will need to aim for the head, otherwise you'll run out of ammo and have not enough money to purchase the rip off of 4500 for the upgraded version, otherwise, try a more expensive wall weapon or hit the box to get a much more sensible choice
